Opinions Please - Jungle?

tcdrover Sep 06, 2011 11:31 PM

OK, what do you think about this boa?





I bought her as a non-jungle from a jungle litter. At the time I
thought she was pretty jungle-like and could possibly be a
jungle. At some point a couple of years ago I stopped thinking
about it. The thing is there are a bunch of her neos that look
like jungles.

Now I dug up an old pic and a few more recent ones to try and get opinions. The one with me holding her was taken
right after she gave birth last month. The ones that follow I
just took right now. Thanks for looking and any opinions...tc

She has the side to top difference in color but her body color seems dark. Post up some pics of her kiddos and what the pairing was.

I was going to pair her up with a very nice Hypo jungle dbl het
this year, but I've got a Motley Parahet which I would REALLY
like to put with her. After seeing your pics I'm kinda leaning
in that direction.

Here are some pics. They're not too clear, sorry. There is
another sunglow which is much nicer.

I couldn't tell ya from the pictures, looks normal to me but that hypo gives me a little doubt... I say if you think she might be, throw that male jungle on her and see if you get some supers.

Every single word and advise Josh wrote...I agree!-Charlie

I agree with Josh, plus I would not pair her with a Motley Parahet because Parahets are 50% chance het Sharp , 50% chance het BWC.

The babies she produced are Kahl strain correct she is het Kahl ?

If the Motley Parahet proves het Sharp you will be producing a troublesome litter.

You follow my point here ?

She looks a little dark to be a jungle (old and new pictures)
I like to think that jungle is more of a color morph rather than a pattern morph and I just don't see it in her... Maybe try her with your male jungle this up coming season and see what you get?
